The story of the relief "The Lightbringer" by Bernhard Hoetger from 1936 is not entirely uncontroversial, as it was created against the backdrop of the cultural policy of the Nazi era. However, the gilded work of art above the entrance to Böttcherstrasse, which shows Saint George, is today one of the most photographed public works of art in Bremen. The object has been a listed building since 1973.
